There are many sports that can be seen whilst on your Oman holidays Cheap Philadelphia Phillies Shirts , whether you want to take part or simply spectate from a distance. Here?s a look at our top five:

Camel Racing

Camel racing is a sport to see on your Oman luxury holiday, as there is nothing quite like it anywhere else in the world. Camels and their owners congregate at specially built race tracks and compete in races in order to win prize money. The camel racing industry is big business in Oman and an award winning camel can expect to reach around ?50,000 at auction. As in horse racing, the size of the jockey matters and Omani jockeys often make their debut at around the age of five years old. Sadly Cheap Philadelphia Phillies Jerseys , camel races aren?t that well advertised, so if you?re set on attending a traditional camel race on your Oman holidays then it?s always best to ask your hotel staff for information.

Game Fishing

Game fishing brings in the big money in Oman, and as proof of this you?ll be interested to know that Muscat?s traditional fish market is within the country?s top ten tourist attractions. Would be anglers can try their hand at catching fish whilst on their Oman holidays and many companies also offer the opportunity for you to cook your day?s catch on a specially constructed beach barbecue. Marlin and tuna are the most highly sought fish and as the Omani waters are abundant in the smaller bait fish that attract these predators, you?ve got a good chance to catch a beauty whilst on an Oman holiday.

Bull Fighting

Before you close this article Cheap Francisco Rodriguez Jersey , you should know that it is a completely different sport than that practised in Spain. Bull fighting in Oman doesn?t even involve a human and instead two Brahmim bulls of the same size are pitted against each other in a fight. The loser is the first bull that either gets knocked over or runs away. Of course, gambling is illegal in Oman so the sport simply involves watching the bulls do their thing. Each fight usually lasts just a couple of minutes and the only injuries suffered by the bulls are a wounded pride and crushed ego.

Horse Riding

The Arabian stallion is known throughout the world and some of the best breeding centres for this enigmatic breed are located in Oman. Wherever you decide to take your holidays in Oman there is bound to be a stable nearby that offers breathtaking beachside excursions or secluded woodland trails. However, the best stables and breeders in the country are located in Al Kamil and Al Wafi. The stables in Seeb are also particularly note worthy and often run equestrian events which are definitely worth checking out on your luxury Oman holidays.

Sailing and Boating

We?ve already heard about the ever popular game fishing, but a holiday in Oman offers plenty of other opportunities for a boating or sailing excursion. Almost every kind of boat is offered in Oman from bouncy banana boats to stately dhows Cheap Will Middlebrooks Jersey , classic catamarans and convivial yachts. There are whale and dolphin spotting trips available from all of the destinations on the coast, and these are always popular with tourists on their Oman holidays.
One foggy Christmas Eve, Santa Claus made Rudolph the most popular reindeer of all-time. Once chastised for his red nose, Rudolph's name went down in history when his guiding light saved Christmas for kids the world over.

Folklore aside Cheap Tommy Hunter Jersey , and much to the delight of kids in every age group, it's indisputable fact that reindeer really do exist. They may not fly (except for special ones like Dancer and Prancer), but they roam North American landscapes and are commonly known by other names, such as Caribou.

Reindeer are mammals that typically live about 15 years. Most often they are gray in color with splashes of brown Cheap Pat Neshek Jersey , though on occasion a white caribou is encountered. Their coats - or pelts - are thick to help them withstand harsh winters. Since they're typically found in the northern U.S. and Canada, these pelts are essential to their survival.

Some of the most noteworthy reindeer in the world are found in British Columbia, Canada, where reindeer farms are prevalent. On these farms Cheap Carlos Santana Jersey , the caribou are raised for slaughter. After processing, caribou meet - called venison - is taken to restaurants and retail outlets to be sold for consumption. While caribou are not a particularly popular dish, demand for the food does appear to be growing as consumers everywhere continue the trend of testing their palates with new flavors and food combinations.

The reindeer's breeding season is particularly interesting. Known as "the rut," the breeding season lasts for about a month. Typically Cheap Drew Hutchison Jersey , the rut occurs in the latter half of September and early part of October. While humans carry their young through a nine-month gestation period, a reindeer pregnancy lasts for approximately seven months. Most often, reindeer calves are born in the months of April and May.

During the mating season, into which young caribou enter at the ripe age of 18 months (they continue to mate until about 10 years of age) Cheap Aaron Altherr Jersey , the male reindeer - known as bulls - work vigorously. They eat very little and often lose 20 percent of their body fat.

When a female reindeer - sometimes called a cow (confusing, isn't it?) - is about to give birth, she becomes withdrawn and separates herself from the pack. She'll hide from her herd in a protected place, away from the elements. Luckily for her Cheap Tommy Joseph Jersey , the birth will only last about 30 minutes once the actually birthing process begins (usually 24 hours or so after she goes into hiding).

Reindeer have velvet-covered antlers and the males grow a mane. Like deer or elk, they are wild animals and therefore do not make good pets, though some people have taken ill-advised steps to attempt making them into pets over the years.
